Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance.
Over the weekend, there were two high-profile shootings.
First, the massacre in El Paso on Saturday.
A 21-year-old white man, Patrick Crucius, shot and killed 21 people and sent 22 to the hospital.
Thirteen hours later, another white man, 24-year-old Connor Betts, killed nine people and wounded at least 26 others in Dayton, Ohio.
His ex-girlfriend says he was mentally ill.
He was suspended from high school for drawing up a hit list of enemies, and he killed his sister in the massacre.
On what seems to be his Twitter account, he called himself a leftist, and he regularly supported Antifa and even Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Well, this means he is not interesting to the media because they can't call him a white supremacist or blame Donald Trump.
They can't get enough of the El Paso guy, though, because he is the alleged author of a document that explains the killings.
If the shooter Patrick Crucius actually wrote it, and I suspect he did, he said he was fighting the Great Replacement.
He wrote, This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.
He opened fire at a Walmart just inside the U.S. border that is usually full of Mexicans.
The media And politicians have reacted in the worst possible way.
They blame the wrong people, they misdiagnose the problem, and scream for policies that will make things much worse.
First, they said it was Donald Trump's fault.
Congressman Beto O'Rourke said this about the massacre:"This president's open racism is an invitation to violence." And he added that Mr. Trump was siding with a mass murderer's call to make our country more white.
Elizabeth Warren tweeted, We need to call out the president himself for advancing racism and white supremacy.
Joe Biden insisted that what Donald Trump says, quote, encourages and emboldens white supremacy.
It doesn't make a bit of difference to these people that after the shooting, Mr. Trump condemned racism, bigotry, and white supremacy and said these sinister ideologies must be defeated.
All this Trump blaming is particularly stupid and vicious because in Crucius' statement, he wrote that he opposed the Great Replacement before Donald Trump ever came along.
Crucius even wrote that the, quote, fake news media would blame Mr. Trump no matter what he wrote.
Well, he was right.
In an August 4 article, HuffPost dug a little deeper and blamed me.
It quoted Jared Taylor as saying, I make no apology for urging white nations to muster the will to guard their borders and maintain white majority.
It then ended with, two years later, white male gunmen appear to be heeding his call.
Of course, there's no evidence Crucius ever heard of me.
But so what if he had?
I have always opposed violence and illegality of any kind.
My record couldn't be clearer.
What I proposed is policy.
Guard the borders.
And I'm supposed to have inspired someone to slaughter Mexicans?
HuffPost would never draw the same conclusion about someone promoting policies it liked, would it?
Take Black Lives Matter.
Its leaders claim the police are killing innocent black people and its members denounce the police in murderous language.
In 2014, a BLM demonstration wound through the streets of New York shouting, What do we want?
Dead cops.
When do we want it?
Now. In Minnesota, BLM protesters threw rocks and bottles onto police from an overpass and injured Twenty-one officers.
They shouted, one piggly wiggly down, when an officer was hit.
Minnesota BLM organizer Rashad Turner led his group in a demonstration chanting, pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.
Does this lead to murder?
In 2014, Ismael Brinsley killed two police officers just sitting in their patrol car in Brooklyn.
Earlier, he had posted, They take one of ours.
Let's take two of theirs.
Shoot the police.
In 2016, in Dallas, Texas, Micah Johnson ambushed and killed five police officers, all white, and wounded seven more who were, ironically, guarding a Black Lives Matter rally.
He said he wanted to kill white people, especially white police, and was angry on account of Black Lives Matter.
That same year, Gavin Long killed three white officers and wounded three more.
He left Nicholas Twiller brain-damaged and in a wheelchair.
The killer was so heavily influenced by Black Lives Matter that Officer Twiller has sued BLM.
Would HuffPost ever say that people who think there's police bias should stop talking about it because of these killings?
Would liberals ever say Black Lives Matter is a hate group that should be kicked off Twitter and Facebook, lose its payment processor, be shunned, silenced?
Of course not.
Virtually every Democrat candidate for president tells us over and over that the police are out to get black people.
They wouldn't change their tune no matter how many policemen got killed.
If it's a cause liberals like, they can immediately tell the difference between promoting an idea...
And murder.
But they can't abide the mildest objection by whites to becoming minorities in their own countries.
The media don't even try to understand the idea, much less distinguish it from violence.
A Daily Mail article about the El Paso shooter dismisses the Great Replacement as a white supremacist theory.
But at the end of the article, it mentions casually that El Paso, Texas is 83% Hispanic.
In 1970, the city was 40% white, now 12%.
I guess it's white supremacists to notice.
And what's their solution?
First of all, don't let so-called white supremacists speak for themselves.
Crucius' statement is hard to find online.
The media assured us that it was a screed, a rant, and full of hate.
But they didn't want you to judge for yourself.
The larger approach is to shut up all of us.
Just a few days before the shooting, Scientific American published an article by Angela Saini, whom Wikipedia calls a British science journalist.
She wrote this about what she calls online race hate.
What has started with a gentle creep through the back door of our computers could end, if we're not careful, with jackboots through the front door of our homes.
The public must hold the Internet giants to account.
This is not a free speech issue.
Ha! Improving the quality and accuracy of information.
That's what all censors say, isn't it?
Wajahat Ali explained to us what we're supposed to think about the El Paso shooting in an article for The Atlantic with the title, The Death Rattle of White Supremacy.
He says, We need to give what he calls white supremacy, the coup de grace, a death blow to put us out of our misery.
At the very least, he writes, we must stop giving mainstream platforms to provocateurs of hate.
Well, to him, I'm a provocateur of hate because I say whites deserve homelands just as Indians deserve a homeland.
So, he wants to shut me up until El Paso becomes what?
95% Hispanic?
100%?
Who needs any white people in El Paso?
Or anywhere else for that matter?
Well, trying to silence us is futile and dangerous.
There is nothing more healthy and moral than wanting one's people to survive and prosper.
Fair policies on immigration and race relations can be worked out, but only if we can talk about them.
Whites have a widespread, legitimate, deeply held grievance.
Call it hate, censor it, try to bottle it up, or force it underground, and what do you get?
Mayhem, like we saw in El Paso.
Anyone who's serious about stopping the killings needs to talk to those of us who understand the crisis of white dispossession and want peaceful...
Political solutions.
Nothing is more ineffective, stupid, and wrong than trying to silence us.
But if you take people who want ethical, legal solutions and you demonize them, censor them, dox them, deplatform them, get them fired from their jobs, then unstable people begin to think violence is the only solution.
We are going through the most sharply divided period in American history since the Civil War.
These are dangerous times.
Those of you on the left, think about what you're doing.
The suppression that you are calling for is the worst possible response.
You're always talking about dialogue, reaching out, starting a conversation.
